Grammy nominated New Zealand folk comedy duo Flight of the Conchords sold out their April 24, 8 p.m. Fox Theatre show in record time. By overwhelming demand, a second show has been added at 11 p.m. Friday, April 24 at the Fox Theatre. Special guest Eugene Mirman will open both shows.
The tour coincides with the conclusion of the second season of HBO's hit show "Flight of the Conchords" and the release of the duo's as-yet-untitled second full-length album for Sub Pop. For the first time, songs featured in weekly episodes are available for download on iTunes and www.subpop.com the Monday after they air.
Flight of the Conchords' self-titled 2008 full-length is nominated for a Grammy for best comedy album. This follows their 2007 Grammy win for the EP "The Distant Future" in the same category.
